What lines do I need to go from the rear brakes to the front of the car? I checked Sn95 Brake upgrades website and there really isn't any mention of that.


Okay Guys here is what I have....

2003 Cobra Wheels
2003 Cobra Front Brakes, Dust Shields and Soft Lines
2003 Rear Brakes, Dust Shields and Soft Lines
1995 GT Master Cylinder

What I still need:
E-brake Cables (3) FRPP
94 to 95 Spindles/Hubs
Brake Proportioning Valve
Brackets to Mount Rear Brakes
31 Spline Auburn Axles

I am sure I am leaving stuff out....please let me know....

-The drivers side soft-line to hard-line attaches directly while the passenger side requires a Weatherhead 7828 fitting
I dont remember the fitting for the rear but here it is on ebay. a little expensive but maybe someone will chime with the correct number. I used to have a excel setup with all the parts I needed for it. I will look for it and see what I can find.

ah here it is
In order to attach the stock hardlines to the softlines, you will require a single Weatherhead 7818 adapter per side.

Fyi there is a mention of it on that website but only if you buy it from them. I also made my own 3-2 proportioning valve conversion. just search through the internet and you can probably find the correct parts numbers for that as well.

Cool thx for the help. So Do I need a total of 2 or 4 of those adapters?

Instead of the Adapter you should look into some Braided Stainless lines from Maximum Motorsports as they are designed for SN95 Brakes and are a direct bolt up to the PS Hard Line.

Which kit exactly? They have a lot of different kits. Do I need one for the Cobra since I have Cobra brakes? These will bolt up to my stock hard lines?

I have Cobra Brakes on mine and they are a direct bolt up. The main reason I went that way was because I did not like the idea of an adapter there as I felt it was just an opportunity for a leak.

I am guessing you mean to purchase the Cobra lines for the Cobra brakes and that they are a direct bolt on to the stock hard lines.....I would need front and back then I am assuming

you can just call MM and let them know what you have and they will have them made/setup for you.

the back you still need the adapters (2) from the hard lines to the soft lines. IIRC the fox just has the one soft line in the rear that goes into a hardline at the top of the rearend. with the sn95 you will be adding two softlines.

For the rear brakes, you need softlines from a 94-95 Mustang. The bolt to the axle and you reroute your drum brake hard lines into them with use of an adapter. I forget the part number but it's not the 7828 fitting. You need one for each side.


Up front, if you buy aftermarket SS lines, you can use Fox lines and no adapter needed. The heads of aftermarket SS lines will bolt up to your cobra calipers

If you use factory SN95 lines, then you need 1 7828 weatherhead adapter for the passenger side.
